Orange County Chapter event with Rev. Steven Baines - May 5

Steven Baines, Assistant Field Director for Religious Outreach Americans United for Separation of Church & State

Rev. Steven Baines is Assistant Field Director for Religious Outreach at Americans United for Separation of Church and State where he is responsible for the organization's national engagement with and mobilization of people of faith. Before coming to Americans United, he served as Director of Interfaith Outreach at both the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and People For the American Way. He has also served as Executive Director for Equal Partners in Faith, a national interfaith organization committed to fighting racism, sexism and homophobia.

Steve will be speaking to us about both the National Day of Prayer and the far more important First Amendment Day where we celebrate the five freedoms granted to us in the Constitution. Steve will also be discussing the need for the strong wall of separation between church and state and the attacks on it by the religious right.
